For early machines see the link below

In 1863 the company "Mundlos & Schulz" was founded in Magdeburg-N. Initially the company's machines were based on the "Singer" and "Howe" principle.

In 1882, the company launched its first own sewing machine: Victoria. What followed was a series of further technical inventions.

In 1900 the company offered 5 different models under the name "Victoria" and received several awards for their machines.

In 1901, Mundlos revised his machines constructively and brought his first Rotary-Ringschiffmaschine to the market, taking account of the demand for larger bobbins. The program is thus extended to a total of eleven machines.

In 1910 the model "Schnellläufer", innovative developments for fabric feed in upper and lower position.

In 1911 retractable machines.

In 1913 Central Bobbin hook with fabric feed in upper and lower position and link take up, central needle bar with a stand made of wood and cast iron, semi-automatic eyelet embroided machines.

In 1914 Button hole sewing machines.

In 1925, the first high-speed zigzag sewing machine was introduced and widely used in private households.
